Feeling a lot different after the coldcard exploit.
One of my good friends took my advice and lost all his Bitcoin.
~$1.5 million gone.
Don’t trust verify was a LARP.
I kinda feel like an idiot again, like the advice I give people is ridiculous.
I kinda feel the urge to sell it all, pay a massive tax bill, buy an island, put the fiat to work in index funds, then buy back ~25% of my BTC
It could have easily been me that lost everything.
Do I really want to go down with the ship?
My back seized up after grappling with the last week of debating internally.
I had to help dozens of ppl I onboarded get off coldcard.
I had to think about what is the best way for them to hold their coins now in the age of AI and digital exploits.
It’s not just “maybe another wallet will have an exploit.”
It’s also what comes next, what can the average person do to protect their digital wealth.
Do I really want to ride this to zero and go back to being poor?
I thought I’d be ok with that.
That was a fantasy.
I’m really shocked the price has held up here, and likely that means $58k was the bottom.
After the STRC / MSTR crisis and the ColdCard hack … price holding through both of those is bullish.
…but my back is telling me otherwise.
Doesn’t help that I also have been doing manual labour and moving appliances at the new place I bought in Cape Breton…
Chiro says I sprained my facet joints and jammed my SI joints.
Anyway on a positive note I’m loving the sound of the waves from the beach house and really enjoying listening to
@Lyn Alden Stolgard Incident on my long drives to physio/chiro.
@walker and
@CARLA⚡️ knocked it out of the park with the audio play.
Anyone else feel their “all in bitcoin psychopath” conviction shaken the last weeks?
